Thanksgiving Youth Hockey Tournaments 2026

Thanksgiving weekend runs Wednesday, November 25 through Sunday, November 29, 2026, and 146 youth hockey tournaments fall inside that window: any event with at least one game day between those dates is included, so a Friday-to-Sunday tournament and a four-day holiday showcase both count. The busiest places this year are Alberta, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, with 121 host cities in all. Age groups listed most often are 10U, 12U, 14U and 16U. 16 of these require booking through the tournament's hotel partner, 2 let you book anywhere, and the rest have not confirmed a policy yet. Every listing here is re-read against the organizer's own page by our nightly verifier, and the hotel policy, when shown, is the organizer's published rule with the date we checked it.

How many youth hockey tournaments run over Thanksgiving 2026?

146 are listed right now across 30 states and provinces, led by Alberta, Minnesota and Pennsylvania. The count changes as organizers post and we verify dates.

Do holiday tournaments require a hotel booking?

16 of the 146 listed require teams to book through a hotel partner (stay-to-play), 2 say you can book anywhere, and 128 have not published a rule we could confirm. Each listing shows its policy and the date we checked it.

Which age groups play over this weekend?

Listings most often name 10U, 12U, 14U and 16U. Filter any state page by age to see one division.

How current are these dates?

Each listing is re-checked nightly against the organizer's own page, and the listing shows when it was last confirmed. Still confirm with the organizer before you book travel.
